All kinds of innovative responses to the #promptcombo #favouriteplace theme, from the shade, thru a building, the body, to even a place in time. I've gone mainstream with a geographical one. Thanks to this week's host, @dragonslayerma.bsky.social

The Next Pandemic
(a double dactyl)

Higgledy piggledy
Robert F Kennedy,
peddling his pigheaded
quackery, the clown.

Keep it up, Bobby, and
eschatological
matters may soon be the
talk of the town.

Train to Busan

The films are never about the zombies
but human fears, frailties, brave
stupidities—the ways we do
the best we can, predictably less
than best, when our world unpicks itself
at first by ones and twos but soon
in baffling exponential rips.

The Spot

The cat sits
still

its eyes fixed
on a spot
on the wall

where nothing is
this spot

the cat watches with
the dogged determination
of a cat.

The cat still
sits

after quite
some time
and still

the nothing is
on the spot

on the wall which
the cat unaccountably
watches.
